Patti LaBelle is one of the most prolific singers in the history of recorded music. Her career is renowned and is still going strong after five decades, from the sixties with Patti LaBelle and the Blue Belles, the seventies with LaBelle and from the eighties to the present. Patti LaBelle is Soul royalty; she set the bar too high for most in her field to reach. Her uninhibited passionate stage performances are legendary, always leaving audiences breathless.

Michael McDonald is joined by Doobie Brothers Tom Johnston and Patrick Simmons for an evening performing his solo hits, including songs from his hit Motown album as well as Doobie classics What A Fool Believes and Takin' It To the Streets. Special guests Ashford and Simpson appear to perform their hits Ain't No Mountain High Enough and Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing.

Following the meltdown of the original King Crimson lineup, Ian McDonald and Michael Giles brought brother Peter Giles back, which helps to account, in some ways, for the resemblance of this album to the 1968 Giles, Giles & Fripp recordings - though the songs here tend to go on at some length, combining prog rock's traits of length and multiple sections with some of the lighter feel of the GG&F days. The 20-minute "Birdman" tends toward self-indulgence, while "Tomorrow's People - The Children of Today" loses focus halfway and spends the next four minutes being a blithering - if pretty - musical idiot. The main attraction is really the performances turned in by McDonald and the Giles brothers…

There have been scads of Patti LaBelle compilations throughout the years. If you take a glance at the lower left-hand corner of Anthology's cover, you can get some idea of where it stands in relation to all the others. The Philadelphia International logo, located in that spot, indicates that the set will be reliant upon LaBelle's few years spent at that label, which weren't - astonishingly enough - all that successful from a commercial standpoint.

Patti LaBelle has a “new attitude” toward music as she pays tribute to the history of jazz with the release of her new album, “Bel Hommage”. LaBelle’s 19th solo studio project features renditions of 13 beloved jazz standards from the likes of Nina Simone (“Wild is the Wind”), Frank Sinatra (“Softly as I Leave You”) and Gloria Lynne (“The Folks Who Live on the Hill”) among others.

Time Life has put together the best-loved romantic, adult contemporary hits of the eighties. From sexy and sensual ballads to soft and sweet love songs and even some of the decade's greatest power ballads, the 'Easy '80s' collection is all about love.

Legendary Jazz/Soul vocalist Patti LaBelle is making a return to music after going nearly a decade without releasing an album. Her newest LP, "Bel Hommage" is slated to be released by GPE Records on May 5th, 2017, and the entire record only contains one duet and it's with Kem.

Patti LaBelle's entry in the Universal Masters Collection is a decent compilation that covers most of her hits from the latter half of the '80s and the whole of the '90s, containing singles like "New Attitude," "Kiss Away the Pain," "Oh, People," "Feels Like Another One," "Stir It Up," "Yo Mister," "Beat My Heart Like a Drum," and "When You Talk About Love." Though it's not comprehensive with this phase of LaBelle's career, it's one of the better sets available with this kind of scope. This is a European release, so it is slanted toward the singles that made a big impact outside of the U.S., but there isn't a great deal of variance between what was most popular in the two territories.

This 2009 Christmas concert from former Doobie Brother Michael McDonald features as setlist that ranges between his hits and holiday classics. Among the tunes performed are "Sweet Freedom," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "Winter Wonderland," "What a Fool Believes," and "Takin' It to the Streets."
